اولين مادربرد Abit AL8-V: For Overclockers


At first glance, the glaring red Abit motherboard with the 945P chipset doesn't merely look like it's well equipped, it actually is. In our photos, you can clearly see the four phase voltage regulators that are powerful enough to use a Pentium Extreme Edition with a thermal power loss of 130 W. Likewise, it should run equally well with all the lower class Pentium processors.

There are three x1 PCI Express slots on the AL8-V, cutting down the number of 32 bit PCI slots to only two. Apart from that, the manufacturer makes use of all chipset options available, including the ICH7-R Southbridge with support for RAID 0/1/5.

The board has both an optical digital input and output for the High Definition Audio compliant sound system. Broadcom's networking chip supports Gigabit Ethernet. In addition to these features, Abit has integrated a port 80 debug and analysis module on the motherboard. It is capable of monitoring the system status and displaying a two-digit hex code. These codes can be looked up in a table and represent different steps in the startup sequence for locating the source of error in case the system does not start properly.

All connectors have color-coded sockets in order to be easily distinguished from one another (power, reset, LED etc.). The placement of the floppy connector seems somewhat odd, because if you want to attach a floppy drive that is installed in the upper section of the tower, you would need a cable that is much longer than the one included.

Again, Abit's µGuru chip is included on this motherboard. It takes control of the clock generators for overclocking and helps to control and monitor fans and system component temperatures as well. Thanks to an extensive software suite, these features can all be accessed under Windows.

There are neither optical audio connectors nor a port 80 diagnosis function on this board, and it has less sophisticated overclocking options, but its feature set is still complete. In contrast to Abit, AOpen includes a piezo PC speaker, a game port, more fan headers and some components that could prove important for users who want to upgrade their system.

The board is cryptically called i945Pa-PLF. Anyone who wants to guess what this model name means might conclude that "P" stands for PATA (there is an additional UltraATA/133 controller with two more channels), "L" means LAN and "F" certainly represents Firewire, as we found an additional controller for 1394a. AOpen placed three 32-bit PCI slots on the motherboard.

One of the most attractive features of this motherboard could be the PowerMaster function. Once enabled in the BIOS, it allows for selecting a performance mode or a silent mode, which allows the clock speed to be dynamically adjusted to the current processing load. Aopen thus complements and goes beyond the Enhanced SpeedStep features which are part of the Pentium 4 600 series and the Pentium D.

While SpeedStep alters the multiplier, PowerMaster reduces the FSB speed from 200 to only 140 MHz in silent mode when idle. As the multiplier is reduced at the same time (from 16 to 14), the resulting clock speed is 1.96 GHz only. Naturally, the cooling requirements are considerably lower here, and the CPU fan can operate at a lower speed. Enabling the performance mode keeps SpeedStep enabled, but will raise the FSB by 5% (10 MHz up to 210 MHz) under a high system load. The result here is 3.36 GHz, rather than 3.20 GHz in the case of our Pentium D 840.

Thanks to PowerMaster, users who demand high performance as well as lower power consumption and noise-levels will get their money's worth. However, we kept PowerMaster disabled while running the benchmarks.

AOpen's sound system is HDA compliant (High Definition Audio) and all connectors are color-coded. But once again the floppy connector was placed unfavorably at the lower edge of the board.

The P5LD2 is an entry-level Asus motherboard for Socket 775. Although Intel's 945P chipset is used, the feature set of the Asus board clearly exceeds the chipset's offerings.

Asus is the only company to offer three x1 PCIe slots as well as three 32 bit PCI slots - all the competitors feature a maximum of five slots. Once again the floppy connector was placed at the edge of the motherboard, making it sometimes difficult to attach the floppy drive.

The board has an ITE controller that offers two UltraATA/133 channels for attaching additional UltraATA hard drives or optical drives. The reason for this additional controller is that Intel's ICH7 family does not allow for more than one ATA channel, which would be enough for just two optical drives, such as DVD ROM and burner.

Asus equipped the motherboard with color-coded connectors, making it easier to tell these apart. The sound system supports High Definition Audio with 7.1 sound and comes with an optical digital output.

Asus emphasizes its fanless design, which was first implemented with the Athlon 64 motherboard A8N-SLI Deluxe . This is no longer an unusual feature - some of the competitors are passively cooled, too - but Asus decided to use a three-phase voltage regulation system only. As a consequence, a Pentium Extreme Edition 840 with Hyper Threading will be tough to support.

Most Asus motherboards are exemplary in that their BIOS overclocking features include auto overclocking capabilities. In addition, Asus provides its AIBooster utility which makes these features accessible directly via Windows.

Chaintech sent us its V945P, which is the company's base model for the Intel world. It is capable of running all Pentium 4 and Pentium D processors except for the 840 models and the Extreme Edition, due to a voltage regulator that features three phases only.

The Gigabit Ethernet chip is from Marvell, Realtek chipped in their PHY for the 7.1 HDA sound system. Chaintech included a two-channel UltraATA/133 ITE controller in order to add storage interface capabilities to the pruned Intel chipset. As seen with some other boards already, the floppy interface is placed a bit awkwardly.

There are two x1 PCIe slots and three 32 bit PCI slots available for upgrading the system. What we missed, though, were color-coded connectors. These would not have been much more expensive to include, and they would be a help for the user in putting together components and cables.

Chaintech's board has overclocking features that offer flexibility that is comparable to the bigger motherboard companies. However, there is no Windows software that makes these features easier to use and more accessible.

Lastly we have to report a small bug that was found when fine-tuning the memory timings: setting TRAS results in four clock rates more latency than chosen. We had to select TRAS 4 in order to get an 8-cycle setting. A BIOS update should easily fix this.

he manufacturer Foxconn is still ambitious when it comes to establishing its name in the channel market and increasing brand-awareness with end users. At the same time, the manufacturer has an excellent pillar in the business and OEM segment, since this is were Foxconn grew up. Today, the firm sells even more motherboards in this category than Asus.

The ingredients that Foxconn uses for its 945P motherboards can be considered top notch. Thanks to four phase voltage regulators there are no limits regarding processor deployment - everything up to the Pentium Extreme Edition 840 can be used. There are three 32 bit PCI slots and two x1 PCIe slots, and we also found HD audio, including a coaxial digital output, a Firewire chip by Texas Instruments and an ITE controller (described previously) which adds two UltraATA/133 channels.

Due to the large number of components used (there are two Gigabit Ethernet chips and a piezo PC speaker), space is limited on this rather compact motherboard. Both the Floppy and one UltraATA connector had to be moved to the loved edge of the board. Although this is not ideal, at the same time it's obvious that there is little room for alternatives here.

It is a bit difficult to remove the PCIe graphics card if it is equipped with a large heat sink. The reason is that the PCIe card lock can hardly be accessed due to several components that are placed directly around this area.

It would be nice to have color-coded connectors (e.g. for the pin panel). Apart from that there is not much that could be added to a motherboard in this price range - a long list of overclocking features is also included.

Gigabyte has a better PCIe x16 graphics card lock than the competition. Furthermore the board is a born-and-bred Gigabyte model: The blue PCB is typical, so is the amount of hardware features.
Although there is no dual Gigabit Ethernet as seen with Foxconn's 945P motherboard, Gigabyte offers DualBIOS, which uses two EPROM chips for providing a backup BIOS, Firewire chips for both 1394a and 1394b, a GigaRAID UltraATA/133 controller featuring two channels and HD audio with both optical and coaxial outputs.

It's a pity that Gigabyte decided to use a three-phase voltage regulator only, as four phases would be capable of handling a Pentium D 840 or Pentium Extreme Edition 840. However, our Pentium D 840 did not seem to stress the motherboard at all.

We appreciate that both chipset components do not require active cooling. Should you require a Northbridge fan, just click it on, as there is one included for optional use. Also, this is the only motherboard that has the floppy connector at a place where it can be accessed easily using the floppy cable that comes included.

Gigabyte usually masks the higher level memory settings. It's the same with the GA-8I945P-Pro. If you want to change certain parameters, you need to enter the BIOS and press STRG+F1 for receiving the chipset features menu. Enthusiast will certainly consider this a real pain while the average user likely will never notice that something is missing. The settings you can choose as well as the overclocking options are far over-average and make this board an excellent choice for performance geeks and enthusiasts.
